2 years ago

At least one winning ticket was sold in Wednesday night's Powerball lottery with a jackpot of $425 million.

The ticket was sold at a Chevron Station in the Dixon Landing area of Milpitas, Calif.

An employee at the Dixon Landing filling station said, however, that he and his coworkers did not yet get confirmation that they sold the ticket.

The winning numbers were 1, 17, 35, 49 and 54, with Powerball number of 34 and Power Play number of 3.

The biggest ever Powerball prize was $590 million before taxes, won by a woman in Florida in May 2013. The highest lottery jackpot ever was shared by three tickets in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland in March 2012 for a Mega Millions jackpot totaling $656 million.

Powerball is played in 43 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning are one in 175 million.
